        This is not a mailing list to express wishes on :-) it's for discussing
code, patches, having development questions answered, etc.

        I agree - but this is (in a nutshell) a reflection of people's
willingness to come and hack on the problems. Also, with Graphite2 a
number of these features already work rather well AFAIK (but I'm no
expert), if you use the right fonts.

        So - are you willing to help out hacking on this ? you seem to know a
good bit about the area :-) if not, that would be disappointing :-) We
can help get you up-to-speed here, mentoring new guys is another purpose
of this list.

        All the best,

                Michael.
